They said they are struggling to understand how someone they've known for so long is now accused of killing four of their family members.

"How could you? How could you take away innocent lives like that?" said Monique Myers, Chanice Reed's cousin.

Myers said she had just talked with her cousin on Monday about Wells, her on-again, off-again boyfriend.

"She told me he was controlling. He didn't like her being with her own family. I talked to her and said, 'Chanice, leave him,'" said Myers, who added that she never thought the couple's problems would end with a deadly shooting.

"You love a person, you're not supposed to hurt them. That's not the way, just not the way," Shauna Myers-Berry said.

The victim's family told NBC 5 that Wells shot Ann Reed in the yard before confronting and shooting Chanice Reed at the front door. Afterward, he killed Ann Reed's youngest child, Eddie McCuin, family members said.

"He just shot her point blank, because she was in the door, went into the room and shot my cousin, Eddie, three times," Myers said. "You're going to have a child yourself. For you to kill the mom, mother of your child, her brother -- you don't have a heart. It's going to be a cold day in hell."

Tension flared Monday night when Myers and several other family members crossed the police barricade and ran to the family's home.

"At that time, we didn't know anything," Myers-Berry said. "We just took off running."

Her son and other daughter were arrested on suspicion of assault and interfering with officers guarding the crime scene after a scuffle with officers.

Police reports show that Jermey Myers, 20, was arrested on suspicion of assaulting an officer. Kalie Myers, 18, was arrested on suspicion of interfering with police duties for impeding officers trying to guard the crime scene.
